*taking the train into New York City and having a kind and thoughtful taxi driver take us down to SOHO

*Going into Dean and Delucca which is a deli on steriods...incredible smells, spice, cheese, coffee, bread. I got a black tee-shirt that says Dean and Delucca on it that I will wear in New Mexico and smile at where it came from.

*walking around in SOHO and going into the Scholastic bookstore for children, seeing Harry Potter and The Hunger Games and the Red Dog saying it is good to be BIG! The whole place just made me smile.

*Going down to the sacred space at Ground Zero...what an experience that was...the memorial is simply breathtaking. No words for this one...just the feeling of honoring the place.

my legs were tired from all that walking..New York City is a city to walk in, a wonderful city. I love New York and am happy to be here.
